  1. Homemade Toys

    Share Share Post
    I used to make some toys such as balls, glasses, dolls and daisy-chains. I made the balls from paper rolled into a hard ball and chord tied round it. I made the glasses from light wire and stuck paper that you can see through with gum into the eyes of them. I made the dolls from cloth. I made daisy-chains from the little daisies that grow in fields. Those are all the toys I ever made.
